Strategic leadership, policy and program management

We work with the head of an institution and the leadership team on where the institution is going, which policies will take it there, and how its programs, plans and budget carry that direction into the work.

When to call us

Leadership teams usually call us in situations like these.

  • a new head or leadership team needs a shared agenda in its first months
  • priorities are set, but programs and budgets do not follow them
  • the institution has more programs than it can manage well
  • leaders need a common way to decide, delegate and hold people to account

What we facilitate

  • A shared agenda for the leadership team, how it decides and delegates, and how it holds the institution to account.

  • The policy priorities that follow from your mandate and the Bangsamoro Development Plan, and the order in which to pursue them.

  • Programs, projects and activities tied to the priorities, with the resources each needs and an annual work and financial plan.

  • How programs are owned, monitored and reported, so the leadership team sees progress and acts on it.

What you receive

Each output is drafted with your team and handed over in a form your staff can keep using.

  • a leadership agenda with the decisions it needs and who makes them
  • policy priorities linked to your mandate and the Bangsamoro Development Plan
  • a register of programs, projects and activities with owners and resources
  • a reporting rhythm for the leadership team

How it runs

  1. Listen

    We meet the head and the leadership team, read the mandate and current plans, and agree the questions the work must answer.

  2. Align

    In facilitated sessions, the team agrees its direction and policy priorities and tests them against the mandate.

  3. Program

    Programs, projects, activities and budget are matched to the priorities, and owners are named.

  4. Follow through

    We return at agreed points to review progress with the leadership team.

Grounded in our guidebooks

The method draws on our guidebooks on strategic planning, supervision and systems change, written for the Bangsamoro Government.
